Vagas - Para
What nerves both sympathetic and parasympathetic innervate the midgut?
Greater and Lesser splanchnic - Sym (T5-T11)
Vagas - Para
What nerves both sympathetic and parasympathetic innervate the hindgut?

What percentage of atmosphere is O2?
about 21%
What is volume of shunted blood called that passes through the pulmonary circulation/min?
physiologic shunt
air that remains in the respiratory passages or arrives in alveoli that are not particularly perfused wiht blood is called what?
physiological dead space air
What portion of the lung has the highest VA/Q? meaning that is has less perfusion for the same amount of alveolar ventilation?
the upper part of the lung.
what is the average arterial partial pressure of oxygen as it leaves the lung?
95mm HG
what is the average arterial partial pressure of oxygen as it leaves the capillaries?
40mm Hg
What is a better way to deliver more oxygen to the tissues? increasing the partial pressure of O2 or increasing the amount of hemoglobin/RBCs?
increasing the amount of hemoglobin because it gives O2 something to bind to because it is not very soluble in blood
What molecule helps oxygen get off of hemoglobin more easily?
2,3 DPG
Which effects regarding the blood’s capacity to handle CO2 and O2 are worded the same but named differently?
haldane effect (Oxygenation of blood) and bohr effect (pH of blood)
what is the percent of water in plasma?
92%
What vitamin is essential for clotting in both the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways?
vitamin K
do allosteric enzymes follow MIchaelis-Menten kinetics?
no
Where do allosteric enzymes have allosteric substrates bind?
not to the active site even if it is homotropic regulation
do pacemaker cells like the SA and AV nodes have an absolute refractory period?
no
The strength of a cardiac muscle contraction is directly proportional to what?
the intracellular Calcium concentration
What is the bainbridge reflex?
it responds to changes in blood volume. Increases the heart rate when atrial pressure is high.
What is a First Degree AV block?
when the PR interval is longer than it should be
What is a Second Degree Type I AV block?
When the PR interval is cyclically lengthening until a QRS complex is dropped
What is a Second Degree Type 2 AV block?
When the PR interval is normal but you get random dropping of QRS complexes
What is a Third Degree AV block?
When you have atria and ventricles that are not in sync with each other. They are both irregular.
What is bulk flow?
movement of protein free extracellular fluid and water soluble substances in and out through water filled pores or intercellular clefts
